    Thats my dream for my truck when I have the money! I definitely want to see someone do it, and maybe check it out in person.

    I've been thinking the same thing for a little bit. I'd love me a desert truck.
    2005 black Yukon XL SLT - traded in for me wife's new Fusion (GM sucks these days)
    2002 black Yukon SLT (the skinny sister)
    1969 green Pontiac GTO (Layla, AKA the black sheep)

    INSTALLS AND MORE.. http://www.ls1truck.com/forums/my-ga...-low-life.html

    you'll have $10k in suspension and still be rollin around panda style and no motor mods but go ahead. i thought it was a cool idea at first but the funds is what slowed me down. pre runners are $$$

    Panda style huh.....lol... whatever that means....Actually the first hit on suspension will be over 20k... Then another 15k in power mods... I dont go into projects trying to save money, these are my release. Im not doing some simple bolt on kit, im going to have Mazzulla offroad build it right, ready to beat on... When i go pick it up in Cali i plan on driving it straight to glamis to play..... like a panda, in tropic thunder....lol
